Fayyad says Lebanese leadership has 'abandoned its people'
MP Ali Fayyad of Hezbollah on Friday charged that the Lebanese leadership "has abandoned its people, indifferent to their suffering and the extent of the crimes committed against them by the Israelis."
"This ruling authority seems to have become corrupt and is persisting in its choices despite all the failures and despite all the advice and criticism directed at it from abroad and within, even from its allies," Fayyad added.
"It is no longer concerned with anything other than appeasing the Americans and justifying its submission to the Israelis, with the aim of eliminating the resistance and getting rid of its weapons. As for liberating the land, protecting the people, the return of residents to their villages, preserving Lebanese sovereignty, and internal stability, these are, in the calculations and positions of this authority, merely empty slogans with no real meaning or value," the lawmaker lamented.
He asserted that "the Lebanese authorities seem determined to take the country to a very dangerous place, one in which they will neither regain the land nor restore sovereignty, while simultaneously losing internal stability and the unity of the Lebanese people."
"This is precisely what the Israelis meticulously planned, and the Lebanese authorities have willingly and fully committed themselves to it. Therefore, the problem with this authority has become immense, bridges with it are severed, and the possibility of understanding is impossible. The consequences will be dire," Fayyad warned.
He emphasized that "the resistance, as always, is prepared for all eventualities and options, based on its well-known principles."
